The Razzies, which are the Oscars’ antithesis, celebrating all the worst movies of each year, have released their nominations, and there’s a special someone who got two nods this year, proving once again he’s nothing if not versatile.
Although Ben Stiller really ran way with the Worst Actor category, getting nominated for Along Came Polly, Anchorman, Dodgeball, Envy, and Starsky & Hutch, our special someone also garnered a nomination in the category. For his star turn in Fahrenheit 9/11 as “President Doofus,” George Bush has received a Razzie nom for Worst Actor.
The other nomination for the cowboy pin-up came in the category of Worst Screen Couple, for which he was nominated with either Condoleezza Rice / Fahrenheit 9/11 or His Pet Goat / Fahrenheit 9/11.
Not a man who forgets the little people when he makes it to the big time, his pals received some nominations of their own. Condoleezza Rice was also nominated as Worst Supporting Actress for her role as star-crossed lover “Condi” in Fahrenheit 9/11, but the competition in the category is stiff, as her co-star in the film, Britney Spears, has also been nominated for her performance as “Patriotic Stepford Slut.” It’s just too bad only one can take home the prize. Tough break, girls!
Dapper Don Rumsfeld also made the cut, as the tough but mean-spirited “Defense Secretary Don,” also in Fahrenheit 9/11. One can only hope that if he wins, he won’t forget to mention the other exceptional supporting actors in the film, like Paul “Spittle-Head” Wolfowitz, who must have made choosing just one quite the dilemma.
Winning will be no easy feat for Donny-boy with such impressive competitors as fellow Republican fuckwit Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has been nominated as Worst Supporting Actor for his appearance in Around the World in 80 Days. The bookies are no doubt betting on Arnie, who happens to be the all-time Razzie nomination leader, with eight nominations in his spectacular career.
George “Seven Minutes in Stupor” Bush is off to a great start with two this year. You know, his being recognized for some of the worst scenes put on film kind of makes you think–he might really be the true heir of the Reagan legacy after all.
